Description: Three band logos for a new indie band with new music to share.
Process (Programs, Tools, Skills): Using Adobe Illustrator I thought of the message I would like to share. I wanted something unique, just like the band. For the very first logo, I inserted text with a normal san serif font. Then using the pen tool, I added a few lines to make it look modern or unique. The second one I found a thick border to give it a “sludge” look. For the third logo, I used the pen tool to draw out the text to make it look playful and modern looking.
Message: New band with new and unique music.
Audience: Mello rock music listeners.
Top Thing Learned: How to use illustrator and how to work with shapes.
Three Color Scheme and Color Names: 1st: Black and white. 2nd: Complementary Blue and Orange. 3rd: Triadic Indigo, Lime, and Brick.

Description: This is a flier to promote a family barbecue for a local boy scout troop.
Process: Using Microsoft Word Publishing layout view, I started the process with the image. I had to take out the background using the program. Since it it cut to the left, I inserted the image off to the left. I then made the shape boxes and I filled colored those shapes the same color as the image’s hat for some contrast. And finally made a text box and wrote up the information for the ad.

EVENT AD
Description: Photography awareness. Inspire others into photography.
Process (Programs, Tools, Skills): I first thought of the color scheme and thought it would be nice to take an outside picture of the blue sky and snow. I took this picture for the “lead room” category. Then, using adobe photo shop I was able to make the blue colors more vivid and noticeable. With photo shop I added some boxes to add the text. I wanted to use to image to show other how fun it could be to take photography.
Message: The message is that there is beauty all around us and that photography can be, and is, exciting.

Description: A brochure to advertise a surf school in California.
Process (Programs, Tools, Skills): For this project I used three programs of Adobe suite. I wanted to do a brochure relating to surfing so I thought a surfing school would be great for a brochure. I thought of the message. I need a brochure for kids and their parents. I first made the logo using illustrator. I made a sun using a gradient scale. I used a adobe photoshop to cut out the image of the little girl surfing with a big smile. I really liked that picture because she makes surfing look like the most exciting thing in the world (as it is). I set the setting as text wrap to make the paragraph not look boring. Using adobe InDesign I organized all these elements together. After many printing attempts, I was able to print it so the the surfboards match up to open the brochure. That is the reason it looks rather silly as a jpeg.
Message: A fun summer camp for kids of all ages who love the beach.
Audience: Kids and their parents who live near the ocean and who are interested in learning how to surf.
Top Thing Learned: Linking different elements using three cs6 programs.
Color scheme and color names: Monochromatic: Blue

Description: Couples holding hands from kids to old age. A nice message about looking for someone with your same values.
Process (Programs, Tools, Skills): First I thought of the message that I would like to share with my peers at BYU-I. I looked for images that related to love. I first placed the first image as the background because of the beach. Then, using the lasso tool, I cut out the image of the two kids holding hands and dragged it to the first. Then placed the third image. Using the masking tool I made I blurred out the edges.
Message: Finding someone on valentine’s day who share the same values as you.
Audience: BYU-Idaho students who are looking for love.
Top Thing Learned: I increased my skill using photoshop and I learn the basics of masking.
